I looked at her, the typical Whole Foods check out cashier. Nose stud, check. Dye streaked hair, check. Birkenstocks, check. Tattoo, check.

I was in Los Angeles for my cousin's wedding reception, but the pleasant surprise happened when a close friend came to pick me up on my return.

You grip your armrest, and your heart palpitates. You close your eyes and imagine the worst. No matter how many times I’ve done it before, there are times that I’ve wanted to escape that claustrophobic cabin. Flying is no walk in the park, no matter how many times you’ve done it.
